On the video itself, enter the text for the callout in the box overlaid on top of the video. Your callout can include links that will become clickable to your viewers.

If you want to move the callout to a different spot on the video, use your mouse to hover over the callout on the video until the mouse cursor turns into a hand, you can then click to drag the callout to a different placement. This can be useful to make sure your callout doesn't cover over something important in the video.

Customize the color of the callout if desired
